I hate that. I’m not patient. I’m not going to be patient. I’m annoyed and more importenatly I’m trapped and helpless. I would like for the train to moving and working as it’s supposed to. I’d like to reach my destination and not be forced to endure headphone bleed and gross manners and strangers touching me. That’s how I feel when I read the current...

You know that huge part of the 54 billion pension deficit your facing? The one you’re blaming on “legislators who say yes” and not on “Wall Street?”
Well, dumbass, typically those pensions are invested safely in Blue Chip type funds to help them grow and mature, with a pretty consistent rate of return. Maybe you didn’t realize, but we had a pretty bad crash...

Abortion Stigma
When I first heard that Jackie Speier spoke openly about her abortion on the House floor, I thought that was brave.
Then I thought about that reaction. It shouldn’t be brave. A women choosing a legal option isn’t brave. Speaking about that isn’t brave. It makes me sad that I would face less combativeness if I admitted to trying cocaine than having an abortion. It says an awful...

lazybookreviews:
Yeah.
Since it costs an absurd amount to keep people in our unbelievably shitty systems of jails and prisons, and rehab costs even more, and to deal with the small population of middle-aged to elderly men who are going to drink themselves to death, having been through treatment eighty times already, and down to mouthwash, St. Paul has a handful of “wet houses,” which provide...

Go read the whole thing.
Things I have written today:
Ugly people shouldn’t be photographed and I bet her girl friends are cats
You really don’t want to be the girl that is begging for a future when he’s not even making plans for right now
It was a goat or a ram. I don’t really get animals.
Everyone "likes" babies, no one "likes" abortion.
Moreover, pregnancy in our society is not seen with the clearest eyes. When we think of pregnancy we do not think of constant, prolonged, intensive labor which burdens virtually every organ of the body. We think of baby-showers, glowing skin and bundles of joy. It is almost as if the work of making a human being is really no work at all. A man ejaculates, and the rest is romantic comedy....

There is so much to love in that quote.
Also, reading NY Magazine recaps of my guilty pleasures is my guiltiest pleasure.

Classes I would take:
How to experience emotions without nausea.
How to be photogenic.
How to blow dry my hair quickly and perfectly every time
How to solve homelessness with math
How to be self-confident when I don’t have in earphones.
Just find a husband already, right!?
Take a moment to consider this. We live in a world where it’s okay to badger brilliant and accomplished human beings—who presumably have many, many fascinating things to talk about relating to their lives’ works—about marriage and childbirth simply because they have female reproductive organs.
